May 20, 202400:47:15Tap to summarizeOn today's episode, the Timberwolves just ended a generation of NBA Basketball. No MVPs are left in the Playoffs, only 1 previous Conference Championship exists between the four teams. It's time for a new generation of stars (Luka Doncic, Anthony Edwards, Tyrese Haliburton) to notch their playoff experience, while Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics now become the buffer team ready to try and win their Championship, just like how the 2019 Raptors bested the Warriors Dynasty and set the stage for a new era of Giannis/Jokic/Embiid/AD/Booker/Butler for 5 years.

May 19, 202400:26:01Tap to summarizeOn Episode 162 of WIRED Up, we have all the news and notes following the Indiana Pacers route of the New York Knicks in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Why the Knicks injuries cost them the series, but also they were still just as good as Indiana given those injuries and the Pacers did what they do best (great offensive execution) to still win the series they would lose 8 out of 10 times.

Transcribe →Minnesota Timberwolves Duel With the Defending Champion Denver Nuggets
May 13, 202400:32:43Tap to summarizeOn today's episode, we take a deep dive into the Minnesota Timberwolves vs Denver Nuggets series, particularly the Minnesota Timberwolves reaching the series they had been building the last two years to, and were playing better than anyone could have previously anticipated for them. We discuss the Anthony Edwards offensive experiment, how strange each of the first three games in the series were, and how if Minnesota does ultimately prevail (still not a guarantee in our eyes) then it will be a validation of the process around the Rudy Gobert trade from two years ago.
